Riverdale
Season 7, episodes 1-7
The CW
I've been watching Riverdale since the first week it was on Netflix. Don't ask me how or why, but seven seasons later I'm still here. Don't get me wrong, this season is even worse than the last one, but at this point, I just have to finish the series. I don't know what's going on with this reverting time thing. I mean, I get it, but I feel like it all could've been avoided if the writers actually cared about this show. Regardless, I still can't believe this is the actual last season. Riverdale is the last show I started in middle school that's still on the air so after this, my middle school era will really be gone forever. I won't do a character ranking until I finish the season next month, but for now, I'll share some of my thoughts on the season through live tweets.

So as you can see this season so far is a dumpster fire. These tweets may be out of context, but even if you watched the show, I promise you would be just as confused. My favourite characters last season were Jughead and Veronica (even though Jughead was such a loser these past few seasons). Though there were a few rough episodes for both of them this season, they're still my faves at the end of the day. Also, I'm kind of mad that the writers tanked their ship that quickly, like that could've been cute for a few more episodes. The one plotline that I can't wait to see more of is Veronica and her little Babylonium movie theatre crew. Snatching that up from her parents was iconic! As for everyone else, either they were boring or horrible. I'll probably do a Tiermaker next month, but just know that Uncle Frank, Julian (what happened to Jason???) and Alice are all gutterbutt.
